PURPLE RAIN - THE BIRD

I watched Purple Rain for the first time last night and now I finally see why people like Prince. He is a fucking freak of nature to say the least lol. I didn't know that the guy Morris is the one that made up "Ah haaaaaah!", and that little dance Prince does when he walks all choppy and feels on himself...all these years I've been mocking actions like that because other actors and performers like Jamie Fox and Eddie Murphy have been emulating him. That guy is a character. My favorite part of the movie was the Bird performance by Morris, lol he was a good bad guy/ rival.

GREEKS V. GANGS - NO CORRELATION

Embedded video from CNN Video

First of all RIP to Derrion Albert and my condolences go out to his family and friends. I am using this tragedy as an example to correlate the notion that Greeks are gangs. This is a statement that was made in the city of Tallahassee by several students who happen to be "anti-greek"or just ignorant to rich history that black greek lettered organizations represent and uphold. Now I'm not saying that BGLOs act uncivilized and thuggish at times, but as humans don't we all? BGLOs tend to be criticized more because we are held to a higher standard, and I do agree with the saying "with great power comes great responsibility". However, as long as I live I will never let any greek organization act like these Chicago hoods that took this young mans life. In human nature and in survival of any living being 101, war, rage, hatred, and anger are natural. My initial take on this accusation was the same as seeing Deltas shoot the Psi, or a white person calling me a nigger, I was angered...my buttons were pressed and I was ready to put on the boxing gloves and retaliate with a hateful retort. Thinking back to my upbringing and utilizing my experience and wisdom I decided to reply differently, with education of BGLOs, and my humble and biased opinion. However my efforts were to no avail as the young men and women (wish I could find the facebook convo) still reponded like assholes with comments like "I won this debate". To me it wasn't about winning, it was about getting my point across that Greeks are not Gangs, BGLOs can get out of hand at time, but they will not host an organizaed gangfight and kill each other nor innocents.

THE SWIM GAP - BLACK & WHITE

In America statistics say that a black kid is 3 1/2 times more likely to drown than a white kid. Most black kids grow up never learning how to swim. I myself have never taken swim classes, in fact the way I learned how to swim is from being thrown in the pool by my big cousins at Farquar park pool. Of course they weren't going to let me drown but it still was 3 1/2 times the chance than drowning from formal swimming lessons. It is said that the reason for these harsh statistics is from Black people's fear of water and our American past of desegregation of blacks in white pools. In 1971 integration of spring pools in America was in effect, that was 17 years after the integration of Schools. It is also said that blacks don't have buoyancy, but scientifically speaking a human can not float in it's live state, so this myth is null and void. Check the movie "Pride" (Thanks @MiaMck) starring Terrence Howard when you get a chance, and folks take your kids swimming.

THE N WORD - NOT NINJA

On Oprah today she broke her normal pattern of behavior by having a rapper on her show. I know she had Ludacris before but that was for the movie crash. You probably seen the show because it was a classic as I do not recollect Oprah having a rapper on there and giving him airtime ever. They talked about numerous things such as his Rocawear empire, his wife beyonce, his new CD the blueprint 3, etc...but what I wanted to touch on was what they agreed to disagree on, the use and misuse of the word "nigga". Jay-Z's point was that we give words power, and since we took a negative word and twisted it and embraced it, than it's ok to use it. He also stated that if we took every bad word out of the dictionary it would be replaced with another bad word the next day. A valid point. Oprah, on the other had, had a feasible argument that her generation (the one that grew up through the civil rights movement) could not see that word in a positive light ever. She said that all she thinks about when hearing that word is black men and women getting lynched and hearing it as a last word before they die. Oprah said her generation will have to die out and say from the grave "Jay-Z I disagree" even still in death. My take on this is that these are two valid points but Jay-Z is wrong. He is a hip-hop icon and has more influence on young black America than Oprah does, I didn't start watching her until I was about 20 but I was listening to Jay-Z since I was about 13. His CD The Blueprint was when I fell in love with hip-hop, and it had a song with the chick Amilion or something (what ever happened to her anyway?) called "Nigga what, Nigga Who", and I mean Jigga my nigga is said throughout a lot of his songs. I don't think Jay-Z uses it to degrade blacks but by the upkeep of the word it in turn upkeeps racism to a certain degree and the dreaded memories of slaves dying. I think the African-American race needs to rededicate themselves to their history, we have to constantly remind ourselves of what our ancestors went through to get us here. I recently got into a spat with a caucasian sorority girl of Lambda Tau Omega, because she thought that since black poeple said nigga around her, she could say it too....I was like WOW, but that's a "whole nother" blog, in short I put her in her place and she apologized. You see it's so bad that white collegiate sorotiy girls think it's ok to call us the n word. Nothing positive comes out of that word, and I recently started a twitter campaign to get people to stop saying it, and calling each other it. Nigga is a stupid word.

THE NATION OF QUELTA - QUES AND DELTAS THAT HANG OWT (FAMU ONLY)

Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc., Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc., two well known, historic, and successful organizations that benefit mankind. Many assume and would say that these are "brother and sister" organizations, and refer to the relationship they share as "Coleman Love" because of the founders Frank Coleman and Edna Brown Coleman's marriage. I'll say this, this notion is falsified, null, and void. Nowhere in any history book, or ritualistic manual will it say that this is a fact. Coleman Love does not exist, it is a figment of a non-being entity that clouds the minds of the members of these organizations as to what their organizations are about. I've road tripped and been to different chapters who roll different ways with the Coleman Love factor. Some throw parties, some have seminars, and some set each other out with, food, socials, and sometimes even sex. I've been down to OZ @ UF and Lambda Psi set owt pizza, mac and cheese, and hawaiian punch for the bruhs. Then I've been to chapters like The Mighty US down in the valley and they had chicken on the grill and a barrel of Oil brewing in the shower. Now there are Deltas/Reds/Sawrahz for instance that do genuinely love and want to get to know Ques as brothers and friends. I've been down in Orlando for the 49th convention of DST to go to a OBU party hosted by Russell Drake and got put in a resort with Ashley Poole the tail 06 from DXi out of Fayetteville State Univ and some of her line sisters. To me, one Omega Man with One Omega opinion, that is not "Coleman Love", that is just love, Ashley was such a nice person I believe I could've been a regular buddy and got housed, clothed, and fed. On the other hand the main reason I met Ashley/Ruby Red is because I am Da Bruhz. I know I'm going on tangents here, but I have to make this point. I only like those that like me, for instance when I meet Reds, and they try and hug me and introduce themselves and then that's it, not talk, not ever want to communicate with me ever agin in life (but say the know me, met me, and came to my chapter) I'm not with that. I haze. I like to get to know a muthafucka (excuse the language but I'm passionate about friendship). I like to know what somebodies real name is, not a line name, or what the Reds or Bruhz call you, or what you want to be known as....what if yo black ass gets arrested and we gotta bail you out, what if a family member is looking for you and we don't know your real name? How could you really get to know somebody if you don't even know their real name??? Back to the crux of the matter; In fact, only divine nine members that are constitutionally bound are the members of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc., and Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc. The Alphas and AKAs are not for really, and the Kappas and SGRhos are not for really...The Iotas have sweets. Before I delve into NoQ or the recent Up Psi-BA Coleman Love relationship, let's talk about me...this is my blog after all. For the fall 2008, spring 2009 school year I served as parliamentarian for the FAMU chapter of the national pan-hellenic council. The president was my Alpha buddy Jeremy Mounticure, and in many meetings it would be us and about 4 other members present. I was an advocate for NPHC unity the entire year; choreographing an NPHC step performance and along with my Striker brother Brandon Mitchell who is an Alpha we made an NPHC stroll, and performed both at the "meet the greeks" showcase. Along with Jeremy we ran meetings and were about business. I set aside my Omega pride and it was almost as if I was an abolitionist for the freedom of Greek unity. I organized, planned, and hosted the NPHC awards banquet and social and had everybody in there vibing and some wasted. The AKAs apologized to me for stealing nalia, I was on the mic and shouted out the Kappas who are suspended, and I nixed the bruhz from hopping/wrecking. What more is a guy to do? Oh ok, I know what I did, I, along with my ism from 09BA Dominique Bercy started "The Nation of Quelta", a name inadvertently devised by Cendino Teme of Chi Theta. NoQ is comprised of a 7 member group, 2 bruhs and 5 reds that hang owt, don't have sex with one another, and protects each other from things like falsified info, bad mouthing, etc...This small club of people benefit the commonly misused link between the two orgs so that commo is better, therefore it stimulates the potential of the two separate orgs that the members are comprised of. Just like anything with great potential, "folks gone hate", NoQ is not hurting, nor disrespecting anything, it's helping. Deltas and Ques have been "trickfucking" and screwing each other since 1913, here we are in 2009 trying to put something positive together, the Nation of Quelta, and people are already trying to knock it. Knock Bruhrors, knock Delta Beuxs, knock Candy Bunnies, knock Cold Ducks, but in the words of Katt Williams "This shit right here....." you can't knock it. It is 100% pure love, it's positive, it's beneficial.

OMEGA PSI PHI - THE ONLY QUES

So I was on twitter and seen that someone put a shout out on there about a service fraternity called Alpha Phi Omega, the thing is they referred to them as "AphiQ". This is a problem, The Greek letter Omega would actually be an English "W", the Men of Omega Psi Phi are known as "The Que Dogs", therefore we are the "Ques". It has a deeper meaning than just saying "Que". We wear gold boots for a reason, not just because it's cute. You'll find other organizations trying to emulate the Ques/ Da Bruhs/ Da Bruhz/ The Bruhs/ Omegas by wearing spray painted boots, wearing fatigues, licking their tongue out and trying to hop march and bark. My point of this whole blog is to let the brothers of Omega Psi Phi know that imitation is the highest form of flattery, and we shouldn't be as offended (especially as a neophyte with full enthusiasm) when people from other orgs try and emulate us. After all our not for really sister organization of Delta Sigma Theta, shoots the hooks hops marches and barks.....which leads me to my next blog.

THE OIL CHANGE FIASCO - A BREAKDOWN OF SERVICES

 

When I used to work at Pep Boys, every time a woman came in, or a guy who didn't know what he was doing, my boss as well as the ASE certified technicians would try to get maximum dollar out of customers. That's the way the system is set up, and as Tupac's song goes "that's just the way it is". So in case you go to a vehicle service shop and need a routine oil change, and they tell you, "Ma'am, you need to rotate your tires", or "Sir, you need to change your air filter", here is a breakdown of what you need and how often you need it:

Oil Change: Every 3,000 miles or Every 3 to 6 months. (Change the oil filter every time.)

New Battery: Every 2 to 4 years. (The first and most likely indication of a low battery would be a hard starting problem caused by slow cranking. If the battery seems weak or fails to crank your engine normally, it may be low.)

Brake Job: You may also need a brake job if you're having brake problems such as grabbing, pulling, low or soft pedal, pedal vibration, noise, etc., or if some component in your brake system has failed.

A set of brake linings that last 70,000 miles or more on a car driven mostly on the highway may last only 30,000 or 40,000 miles on the same vehicle that is driven mostly in stop-and-go city traffic.

Wiper Blades: Every 6 to 8 months. I suggest Rain-X, it's a top of the line brand and poor wiper blades can ruin you windshield.

New Engine/Transmission: I suggest you get a new car.

Belts/Hoses: Serpentine, timing....sometimes these things snap and you need to get a new one, point blank.

Shocks/Struts: If you can push your car downwards and it bounces like hydraulics you probably need new shocks, or struts.

Fluids: Power steering, coolant, water etc...make sure every time you get an oil change you top them off.

Tires: Get them rotated every 60,000 miles, rotation simply mean your rear tires go on the front and vice versa. Every time you get them rotated get them balanced too. If your ar drifts when you drive you'll need an alignment.

Alternator: When your car won't start and the lights are coming on inside your car, you need an alternator (most likely). An alternator is the medium between the battery and the car.

Air Filter: Annually or every 15,000 miles.

Hopefully this was helpful, I was talking to one of my friends and she said every time she needs an oil change the mechanics try and jip her, well maybe this will enlighten some so you can go in there and know what you need before they tell you.

Da Bruhz

SERENA WILLIAMS - THE GODDESS OF TENNIS

She was fined 10k, suspend her, people make mistakes get it over with. She is a lady and always has been. This is the second time she was tried in the US Open with this foolishness. All she said is that she felt like "shoving a ball down the line judges throat". Maybe she really did feel like that, she didn't say she was actually going to do it. How many times do we as Americans in the workplace say things to ourselves like "I just wanna punch him/her in the fucking face"....(some days we may slip and blurt it out....like Serena did) That line judge was full, let the CHAMP play, just like any other sport....boxing for example, you have to beat the champ, you don't call any petty penalties to help the challenger. It was a close call and Serena, the champ, should have been alotted an overturn on the call. It's been crazy athletes and coaches that make a career off of rage, Serena is not one, she is a lady and recognized her mistake.

THE MTV VMAS 2009 - KEEP THE STEREOTYPES COMING

 

Well when Kanye did this, at first I thought it was a joke because Kanye is always doing something crazy like giving his awards away and crashing the stage and such. But the young Swift wasn't ready for this one, the 18 year old country songstress stood there in awe as did half of America. Now I usually don't condone ignorance, but I looked at this two ways; one, Kanye HELPED SWIFT! Swift now has "sympathy fans" and the "Kanye haters" now love Swift as well. Two, just like "Flavor of Love" and other reality shows that degrade blacks, this made us look untrained....which leads me to my next point.

Lil mama, nobody likes you (from ABDC crews)....next

Ok Taylor so you didn't get your glitz and glam when you received your award because Kanye ate it up, but when Beyonce decided to big a "big girl" and let you have some shine, your 18 year old ass didn't even thank her! You know she didn't have to do that right, we will charge it to your head and not your heart but next time thank the hand that feeds you.

For that matter did anybody thank GOD????

Within the tweets you saw some stuff about Omega Psi Phi and saw some stuff about Delta Sigma Theta. Omega Psi Phi's (The Que Dogs) signal is "The Hooks" or "The Psi" and the Deltas is "The Pyramid".

 

  

It was said that Beyonce shot the Pyramid in a red dress...not surprising as she has done it before...

I mean she is married to Jay, who devised the sign to represent him and his label "The Rock" or "The Dynasty". I mean look at him and Kanye....

Yeah they are dudes and throwing it up....Plus Sumeke Rainey Kanye's ex-girlfriend who is a member of Delta Sigma Theta was rapped about in the song “Through the Wire” and he also predicted marrying her on the song  "Never Let me Down," where he rapped: "Nothin' sad as that day my girl father passed away/ So I promise to Mrs. Rainey, I'm gonna marry your daughter". So Kanye is "Greek Literate" and I'm sure Beyonce meant no disrespect...I mean I don't feel any disrespect when I see garbage like this....

....I find it quite flattering....imitation is the best form of flattery (Ruby Red)

 

or this....lol...even though the fingers on the hands are pointed horizontal instead of vertical or diagonal, this monstrosity can still be misconstrued as Caster Semenya "Shooting the Psi". Clearly, she is not a Que. Speaking of possible hermaphrodites....

 

How can you not love her? Now the coconut bird nest on her face I couldn't really get down with.

All in all I think the Music Television Video Music Awards was very entertaining and a big success. It also heavily boosted the careers of Taylor Swift and Lil Mama. I wonder what they will say on ABDC about that? So yeah save the best for last:

AMERICA I AM - THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN IMPRINT

America I AM: The African American Imprint is a four-year touring museum exhibition that celebrates nearly 500 years of African American contributions to this country. I visited here today and besides the no picture taking and no cell phone rule it was quite enlightening and nostalgic.

CYRAH'S DIVINE 9 LIST - NPHC

History

The National Pan-Hellenic Council was established in an age when racial segregation and disenfranchisement plagued African Americans, the rise of each of the black fraternities and sororities that make up the NPHC bore witness to the fact that despite hardships African Americans refused to accede to a status of inferiority.

The organization's stated purpose and mission in 1930:

Unanimity of thought and action as far as possible in the conduct of Greek letter collegiate fraternities and sororities, and to consider problems of mutual interest to its member organizations.

The chair of the committee for the National Pan-Hellenic Council was the 13th Grand Basileus of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc. Matthew W. Bullock. The founding members of the NPHC were Omega Psi Phi, Kappa Alpha Psi, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, and Zeta Phi Beta. The council's membership expanded as Alpha Phi Alpha (1931), Phi Beta Sigma (1931), Sigma Gamma Rho (1937), and Iota Phi Theta (1997) joined this coalition of Black Greek letter organizations (BGLOs). In his book on BGLOs, Lawrence Ross coined the phrase "The Divine Nine" when referring to the coalition.

In 1992, the first permanent national office for NPHC was established in Bloomington, Indiana on the campus of Indiana University through the joint cooperation of Indiana University and the National Board of Directors of NPHC.

PRETTY WINGS - THE WHISPERING EYE

While on a roadtrip at 0430 in the morning form Tallahassee FL, to Ellenwood GA, I listened to the groovy sounds of Maxwell. Now I'm not a definition "music listener" I don't go with what's new ie. snap music, you're a jerk, stickin and rollin, stick drill, lean with it do the soulja boy to these nuts....I'm the type of guy that likes genuine hip-hop like Mos Def, Common, Nas, and Lupe Fiasco to name a few. I also like Techno, Trance, Classical, and Nintendo Midis, like yes, I will bump them in my 95 Maxima. However, there is something about this neo-soul that is growing on me. When I first heard Maxwell's song "Pretty Wings" I originally thought it was about him breaking up with the woman he wanted because he cared that much about her.....but that is not the case. Apparently, according to feedback on my twitter @CyrahOmega, the people say the whole song is about a woman's vagina....let's take a gander here:

THE LYRICS

Time will bring the real end of our trial
One day there'll be no remnants no trace
No residual feelings within ya
One day you won't remember me.

Your face will be the reason I smile
But I will not see what I cannot have forever
I'll always love ya
I hope you feel the same.

Oh, you played me dirty, your game was so bad
You toyed with my affliction
Had to fill out my prescription
Found a remedy
I had to set you free.

Away from me
To see clearly
The way that love can be when you are not with me
I had to leave
I had to live
I had to leave
I had to live.......

If I can't have you
Let love set you free to fly your pretty wings around.

Pretty wings, your pretty wings, your
Pretty wings. Pretty wings around.

I came wrong you were right
Transformed your love into lie
Baby believe me I'm sorry I told you lies

I turned day into night
Sleep till I die a thousand times
I should have showed you better nights, better times, better days
And I miss you more and more

If I can't have you
Let love set you free
To fly your pretty wings around

Pretty wings, your pretty wings, your
Pretty wings, your Pretty wings around

So Pretty wings, your pretty wings, your
Pretty wings, your Pretty wings around

Say Pretty wings, oh pretty wings,
Pretty wings yeah, Pretty wings around

Pretty wings, your pretty wings around,
pretty wings, your pretty wings around

Pretty , Pretty , Pretty
Pretty wings, your pretty wings, your
Pretty wings, Pretty wings around

Someone better is gonna love you
Someone, Someone is gonna love you baby

Pretty wings, your pretty wings,
Pretty wings, Pretty wings around (x4)

Analysis:
This song actually has nothing to do with a vagina. It is too much of a good song for me to skew into something as such. That'll be all, phone call over.

THE TOTAL PACKAGE WOMAN - DOES SHE EXIST?

In my recent ventures to the Bloody Beta Psi Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Incorporated, located at the historically black Clark Atlanta University, the brothers, in conjunction with the Sigma chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated, held a seminar entitled "Running the Bases". The seminar focused on dress and dating etiquette for collegiate black students, and was very enlightening. They had skits, discussions, and even open Q&A sessions. Good conversation sparked within the hallowed halls of academe that fit around 100-120 students. Towards the end of the seminar, a panel of Deltas and Ques were selected to answer questions posed by the host, hostess, and audience. Hasani 'Sani' Mac, my deuce sands from Beta Psi, "threw me in" last minute, and I gave the ole "FAMU intro" (My name is Cyrah Hawkins a recent graduate of Florida A&M University with a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice, I hail from Atlanta Georgia and I have the esteemed pleasure yada yada ya...). After the "creamy intro", I sat on the end of the panel opposite of Milt. The first question posed to the panel was "what is the total package"? Everyone on the panel; Deltas, Ques, prophytes, neophyes... they all answered the question to their personal liking. I, however answered simply:

THE VIRTUOUS WOMAN

PROVERBS 10:10-31 NIV

¹⁰ A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.

¹¹ Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.

¹² She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.

¹³ She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.

¹⁴ She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.

¹⁵ She gets up while it is still dark;
she provides food for her family
and portions for her servant girls.

¹⁶ She considers a field and buys it;
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.

¹⁷ She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.

¹⁸ She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night.

¹⁹ In her hand she holds the distaff
and grasps the spindle with her fingers.

²⁰ She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.

²¹ When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
for all of them are clothed in scarlet.

²² She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.

²³ Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.

²⁴ She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes.

²⁵ She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.

²⁶ She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

²⁷ She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.

²⁸ Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:

²⁹ "Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all."

³⁰ Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

³¹ Give her the reward she has earned,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

WHY JESUS WAS SO OWT - SHEOL HELL

After venturing to Atlanta for the Omega Psi Phi six chapter Oil Spill, my brothers and I traveled safely back to Tallahassee FL, and made it to church on sunday for the start of Omega Week. 12 April 2009 - 19 April 2009. We came on time and got the word and it went a little something like this...

Every Christian knows that the only way to get into heaven is through Jesus...

"NO MAN cometh unto the Father, BUT BY ME."
John 14:6

The way you get to Jesus is to obey The 10 Commandments and be righteous...

“For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of HEAVEN.
Matthew 5:20

Now the question at hand is, "how did of the righteous people who followed the commandments and praised and worshipped the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob get into heaven?

The answer: They didn't.

Where did they go you ask?

They went to Hell....She'ol Hell...which simply mean "the place of the dead"

Basically if you were a Christian before Christ then you went to Sheol Hell. Tis paradise in hell was seperated by a river and was not fiery like hades. This can be proven through the story of Lazarus and the rich man.

“The rich man died, and was buried; and in Hell (Hades) he lifted up his eyes, being in torments,” Here we see that those in Hades will be tormented in body as was the rich man. Also, this was no cool place; he was “tormented in this flame”. It speaks of “his eyes”, “he saw Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom”. “Send Lazarus, that he may “cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame”.
Luke 16:19-31

When Jesus cried upon the Cross, "Oh, Father, why have You forsaken Me?" it was then He was separated from the Father because of the sin poured out upon Him. As He gave up His spirit, He said, "Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit." His suffering was completed in our stead. His soul/spirit went to the Paradise side of Hades "Sheol Hell". Jesus did not go to Hades. Jesus’ suffering ended the moment He died. The payment for sin was paid. He then awaited the resurrection of His body and His return to His glory in His ascension. He went down there and preached a revival to the saints and brought them with him from Sheol Hell.

The fact is, Jesus made it possible for us to be in the presence of the Lord through the Holy Spirit baptism. We become the body of Christ who is sitting at the right hand of God. As the tabernacle of God, we are in His presence in the Spirit. That includes the saints who where held in "Sheol" until the resurrection. Some of their bodies were resurrected out of the graves.

Jesus rose on the third day in the flesh, not as the spirit, as well as the righteous people,and they ascended into heaven as he did.
Luke 24:39

This all ties in to the second coming of Jesus in the book of revelations. However I will save that blog for another day. My point of bringing up the subject of how Jesus was outstanding with tenacity in regards to his Sheol Hell experience is that he was criticized, publically humiliated, and mutilated for his beliefs and very presence. He preched the word of God, roadtripped with the word, died for our sins, praye for the well being of his enemies who conspired against him, went to Sheol Hel, preached a revival, then came back to his disciples to prove his point and to show them that faith in a friend is essential, then ascended into heaven only to tell everybody to learn from his sacrifice and he will be back.....SO BE READY

JESUS WAS THE OWTEST PERSON IN LIFE!
